Puzzles of Islam…

Probably a good place to start, is in going over what I have learned, thus far…

The koran is claimed to be, “the absolute word of allah”…

I don’t know a tremendous amount…but, I do know that the koran is essentially divided into two sections…The very early writings of mohammed, from his life before gaining any power…and then from his later life, as a powerful warlord in Mecca.

The koran is known to contradict itself…and the claimed resolution, is to regard all latter writings as replacement, for earlier writings that are in conflict.

…So, one must know the koran fairly well, in order to discern where and how, two [or more] passages of the koran, are in conflict…and which passage takes precedence…

To further complicate issues…the koran is presented in a format, where the longest chapter is presented first…and it progresses from longest chapter, all the way to shortest chapter…They are not presented in chronological order…So, it’s not necessarily easy, to discern what nullifies what…

This strange presentation, is likely due to some sort of cultural, publishing custom…

If this does not confuse one enough…yet another layer is added, in the form of “the hadith”…which is still another book, also known as “the customs of mohammed”.

The hadith, is a collection of writings [possibly from historians, people who knew mohammed…maybe, diary entries from mohammed himself, I don’t know]…They record the actions, commands, etc, of mohammed, as relates to his own “following of the koran”…

Mohammed is considered to be “the perfect muslim”…so, the hadith is thought to be even more important than the koran, in the sense that it claims to show how mohammed lived, as “the perfect muslim”…someone every muslim is supposed to aspire to be like.

With the hadith…theoretically…every muslim could know, how to react and behave, in many [most?] situations…just by reading, and emulating what mohammed did.

Eventually, I expect I will get around to the hadith…but, as you can see…there is a considerable maze, here…The teachings of islam, are not straight forward, by any stretch of the imagination…There are complex layers, to it.

In this light…it is easy to see, why it takes an islamic scholar, in order to decipher what
“the intention of allah” is presumed to be, according to the koran [or mohammed]…

Regardless, we shall persevere…with our reading of the koran…and other, various surveys of islam, and many forms of muslim behavior…

But, it may eventually prove worthwhile, to understand the things explained above…

Judith Reisman = Shameless Quote Miner…

August 15, 2011

Note: This is my “infamous” post regarding judith reisman…I wrote it following my reading of the below linked propaganda, on the dailycaller.com website. judith reisman is a wretched creature, who has been bleating and flatulating her hate for years, in her personal tantrum over sexual rights advancements.

This foul woman is such a shameful propagandist, that she even characterizes Alfred Kinsey’s pioneering work, as an “ongoing sexual anarchy campaign” [“Alfred Kinsey’s ongoing sexual anarchy campaign has no end in sight”]…

I simply know too much about judith reisman [more than I could have ever possibly wanted to know, believe you me], and what she is about…and I could not refrain from letting my disdain for her [and her behavior], be stridently spoken…and maybe help to inform others, who don’t know who she is…

…It is truly a disgrace, that she was once employed by an agency of the U.S. government…but then, so is david finkelhor, and he is one of the most disingenuous, incompetent screw ups, and propagandists the sex abuse industry has ever seen…So, the standard bar is amazingly low…and, when the only thing wanted for such positions is “yes” men…any two bit liar with a degree, likely qualifies.

Anyway…I’ve largely been remiss, in tackling these types of charlatans, here [primarily because they upset me so badly, and make me physically ill]…but I intend to change this. People should know about who judith reisman is [and david finkelhor, too]…and what she has been doing.

I’m including the following, as part of a series of posts regarding judith reisman [who has been on a tirade, against B4U-ACT, in recent weeks]…I’ll likely make a summary post, tying all of these in together…and I may end up with a larger expo project, with regards to judith reisman…who sorely needs the attention, as she cannot seem to get the facts correct…time and time and time and time and time again…

I am left wondering…just why we good, kind and decent people are so often forced to suffer, these people like judith reisman…who have an obsessive, inhumane and ugly side to them, prejudiced against sexual minorities…

We need less people like her…and more people who love…more people who reach out, empathise and work to understand others…

To hell, with the lying bigots

…and no…I will not apologise for saying so…I have integrity.

Oh yeah…and one last thing I wanted to clarify…I mention something about judith being an “authoritative mouthpiece for extreme christian, right wing viewpoints”…I only phrased it that way, to give the uninformed an idea of what demographic judith caters too. I never intended to imply, she herself is christian [or even religious]…It does not matter in the least, what her stance is on theology…I was simply giving an example, so that people who did not already know, could understand the general type of dogma, that judith takes her “justification” from…

…It’s the rabid, anti-sexuality, hateful stance, that relentlessly attacks people of sexual minorities, with lies, propaganda and smearing character assassination.

…This is why, so many of us cannot stand judith reisman…She is a human, of wretched, disgraceful and vile character…

Anyone who’s spent time getting an understanding of Judith Reisman’s mode of operation, can tell you…she is right up there with the worst of them, when it comes to strategic quote mining, and just wholesale rhetoric.

She is very affluent, at this style of dehumanizing hate speech, and dehumanizing propaganda…Hell, she’s made a career off of it.

She is a champion [or trophy, if you will] “authoritative mouthpiece”, for extreme christian, right wing viewpoints.

Much of her activity, consists of preaching to the choir, and trying to act as an alarmist, riding the social wave of pedophile panic…especially as relates to all issues, surrounding sexual liberation…It’s also why she overwhelmingly gets away, with creating gross distortions, and passing them off as “fact”…The standards for checks and balances, are just that low. Few people care, if she outright lies.

Judith has no genuine integrity…and she only has social status, amongst people who are highly ignorant, and bigoted.

…This is why we find such doozies coming from Judith, as this one…

“The scientific defense of pedophiles follows on the natural outgrowth of…[Alfred Kinsey’s] 1948 book Sexual Behavior of the Human Male where he describes the rapes of infants and children, as would any pedophile, as orgasmic,” [Judith] Reisman said.

…I was once berated [as “stupid”], for pointing out how Judith makes things sound, as if they were the most horrible thing imaginable…because the mouthy onlooker decided for herself, that I had no clue, Judith was quoting something from Alfred Kinsey’s assistant, and therefore, it was not directly Judith’s own words…

Of course, this mouthy onlooker [who many of us know], gave no credence to the fact that I actually do, have some insight into Judith Reisman…and just like herself, Judith is a quote mining harlot, who thinks nothing of cherry picking quotes that fit her own agenda, and presenting them to everyone else in just such a way, as to mentally paint a particular kind of picture…slant…gross distortion and bias…

…and in this strategy, Judith did, in fact, make it [the controversial documentation by Alfred Kinsey, of infants and toddlers, experiencing sexual stimulation] sound like horrendously violent, child sexual assault…

The two of them [and many associates], are like two peas in a pod…and you cannot trust the validity of anything they say, or write.

They think absolutely nothing, of completely lying about, and shitting on, people like us…treating us as if we are non-human…or, as if they are somehow above us…

You will notice, no doubt, how Judith assigns to us all, some warped notion that we all, “[…] describe the rapes of infants and children, as […] orgasmic”…

While I trust, I don’t need to specify the obvious implications, in the words Judith has chosen to present here…It is clear that this horrible, wretched scumbag, Judith Reisman, has decided that our sexuality is on par with, “the rapes of infants and children”…

So…How does everyone feel, about this woman deciding for us all…that we think positively, about infants and children being violently raped?…or that, we get off on it?…

…Because, that is exactly what this pathetic, sorry excuse for a human being, has done here…

The world will become a less wretched place, the second Judith Reisman drops dead…[from natural causes, of course, though I’d not complain if she got accidentally ran over by a semi]…

For the record, I’ve never seen any detailed documentation, of the Alfred Kinsey research involving toddlers and infants. I’d be quite interested in it, if it were publicly available…but, to my knowledge, it is not [anyone knowing differently, is invited to share their knowledge]. Surely, there has got to be written records of it, somewhere.

Judith Reisman has obsessively come back to this very same incident, time and time again, speaking of it as if it were all some nightmarish hell, where parents [who were, themselves, present], were stripping their small children, and looking on without protest, as others violently assaulted them…

I don’t know exactly what took place…but since the parents were present and gave their blessing…since there appears to be no hospital records of violent rape on children…since there appears to be no death records, related to fatal rape injuries sustained by toddlers and infants…since there appears to be a lack of police reports, arrests and trials for the rapes, injuries and deaths of infants and toddlers…

…I am left to presume, that the factual occurrences in the Kinsey research episode[s], are monumentally less disturbing, than what Judith Reisman would have us all believe.

In fact, I was under the impression, that they simply observed the children masturbating themselves…Potentially, a vibrator, or other “sex toy” [improvised or otherwise], may have also been available to the child.

I’ve never encountered anything, to imply that anything violent ever took place, in this case of research…except for Judith Reisman’s endless rantings.

If you listened to her…you might very well be left thinking, that Kinsey had men with foot long erections, raping all these small children in the ass, while Kinsey rated how loud the children were screaming…or something equally ludicrous.

I want to know, where Judith has garnered her “insight”, and come off feeling justified in spinning the Kinsey research like this.
